Yesterday were the fantastic fireworks as well as the coronation of the Queen of Carnaval. Remember when I organized the boat cruises ( x3 ) in past years. We were perfectly located here to see the fireworks this year but mother nature decided to stop the wind, not even a wee breeze. So we watched very very little thru thick smoke. Here are a few photos from the internet.
The theme of Carnaval this year is La Perla.
Friday we had some friends over for the afternoon – more on that in another post. But while out dining we were approached by a vendor wanting to sell us masks. Colin has purchased several over the years but ours were run down primarily because of humidity. So we purchased two and our friends got another. I am ashamed to say that we got ours for such a low price, we should have offered even more.
Just a snap shot but the new ones are much larger.
Reading and relaxing but dressed for Carnaval.
This is the giant paper-mache statue located at the Plazuela Machado. Taken by moi!
Many other manigotes line the malecon here in Mazatlan. These were taken from the internet.
Love the sunflowers.
As I mentioned in a past post we have chosen to stay home for a variety of reasons this year. Despite having been invited ( well I invited myself ) to have condo balcony view we said no. Here are a few photos I took off of live streaming.
King of Carnaval, Colin sat on this throne.
